Punishment for the Killer

Sincerest

Evan leaves Elyn asleep in the room. The influence of the drug made him more sleepy and eventually fell asleep.

"Ely.. Ii'm sorry. You wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for my selfishness." Evan covers Elyn's body. He stared intently at Elyn's body.

"Ely.. You really can't be left alone" he said again as soon as he saw every wound on Elyn's body.

Evan left Elyn's room slowly. In front of the door of the room. Elyn's father and mother are waiting.

"German.." Elyn's father and mother also mentioned Evan. They stared at Evan expectantly.

They want to hear Elyn's story from Evan. They dare not ask. Their affection makes them want to look tough in front of Elyn. They know if they look worried and anxious. Elyn will feel guilty and increasingly not tell what is natural.

Evan nodded slowly. Evan looked at the two old men of Elyn. He felt more guilty for being selfish and ignoring Elyn. So Elyn became injured like this.

They decided to discuss it in the next room. In the second room of Elyn's parents.

Both of Elyn's parents sitting on the sofa stared intently at Evan expectantly. Waiting for Evan to start the conversation.

"Sorry, Om, Auntie.. It all happened because of my selfishness. If only I hadn't ignored Elyn. Maybe this won't happen." Evan said with all the regrets piled up in his heart.

"No son.. No. gabe.. There's nothing wrong. Elyn was too pampered too. So he could have trouble being alone." Said Elyn's father while holding the hand of Evan who was trembling with regret.

"Yes Evan.. True that. Its alright. We all just love him too much. So we're too careful of her" continued Elyn's mother who calmed Evan down.

"Sorry.. I promise that in the future I will continue to look after Elyn with all my heart.." Evan promises both of Elyn's parents.

"I have to make amends by keeping Elyn wholehearted. I don't want to see a wounded Elyn like this anymore." Evan's determination in heart. Moreover, he had heard firsthand Elyn's story that made him feel more responsible.

"At first Elyn got hurt while looking for me before the party started. Her legs were scuffed and her clothes were tangled." With a trembling voice Evan told what he had heard to both of Elyn's parents.

"It's not entirely your fault, son.." Elyn's father tightly held Evan's hand with teary eyes.

"Elyn tried to get back on the ship. He thought he might change his clothes if he returned to the ship at that time" Evan said.

Evan took a deep breath. He's falling deeper and deeper. Full of regret, sadness and other emotions that raged into one.

"Elyn walked alone to return to the ship. His feet are getting scuffed here and there. Elyn is chasing a stray dog. He had fallen down a few times and he must have been very scared." Evan's tears had now washed his cheeks. He imagined how scary it would be in Elyn's position. He could imagine Elyn's small body trembling in fear.

Elyn's mother was crying sobbing hearing Evan's story about her only daughter. He rubbed Evan's cheek gently. To win their hearts together.

"He said he was saved by someone. He even gave Elyn food and delivered her back to the ship." Evan continued with his voice growing hoarse.

"I dare not ask more.. I'm afraid he's remembering those bad memories.. My fault. If I hadn't made him look for me." Evan sobbed and turned himself on very hard.

"Elyn can't be left alone. And it's not your fault entirely Evan. We're all negligent.. We have to take better care of it." Said Elyn's mother again who saw Evan crying sobbing.

"Evan.. We know how much you love Elyn. We know that Elyn is precious to you, too.." Timpal's father Elyn while patting Evan's shoulder.

"I'll take care of him even better." Evan promised again.

"We must remain cheerful before Elyn. Don't make him more burdened. He knows we must be worried about him. So he's just telling me a short story." Follow Elyn's mother who is very familiar with the nature of her daughter.

"Yes.. I'll try to make Elyn cheer up again and forget her bad experience." Welcome Evan full of determination.

"Don't blame yourself, Evan.." Elyn's father nodded slowly and smiled faintly.

Elyn's mother nodded in affirming her husband's statement.

"Go back to your room. Calm yourself too Evan.. Tomorrow we must greet Elyn cheerfully." Continue Elyn's father.

Evan returned to his room with heavy steps. He looks very regretful. Elyn's story still comes to mind. Empty look. His body went limp.

"I'll keep looking after you, Elyn" she said repeatedly along the way to her room.

"Dad.. Elyn must be so scared, right.." Elyn's mother who had been restless now spilled all her anxiety in her husband's arms. After Evan left the room.

"That little body.. I can't imagine him being chased by daddy's stray dog.." Elyn's mother is sobbing. He imagined his daughter trembling in fear.

Elyn's father hugged his wife tightly. He rubbed his wife's shoulder and wiped away the tears on her cheek.

"Already Ma.. The important thing is that Elyn survived. God still loves our daughter.. We're not making Elyn any more burdened, ma'am.." Said Elyn's father.

"I always ask God that our children be given salvation. He's our only precious treasure." Elyn's mother has calmed down.

"We should also thank the one who saved Elyn." Said Elyn's father who was very grateful because his daughter was saved.

"Yes dad.. We should look for it and thank you properly." Greet Elyn's mother.

"Pmmm... Fathering.. Evan must be very guilty.." Furthermore, Mother Elyn recalled Evan's expression earlier.

"Yes.. He looks very sorry and promises many times to look after our son Ma'am. Looks like he's really very sincere about loving our son, ma'am.." Elyn's father said his wife's opinion.

"Yes.. Thank goodness many loved Elyn Ma.. Evan must be as anxious as we are." Follow Elyn's father again.

"Yes yeah.. He's really sincere.." Said Elyn's mother.

"May he also not be burdened ya yah.." Elyn's mother continued her words.
